2024-2025 Transfer Portal Thread

I hope Miami gets roasted on this. Miami and Oregon are clearly tampering. It's time for someone to do something about it. I'm glad Wisconsin is taking a stand. I'm all for players getting NIL, but it's time for players to be held accountable for breaches.
There is an easy work around to avoid tampering. Make sure any contact with the players is through 3rd parties and not football or athletics personnel. Wisconsin alleges that there was direct contact between the player and Miami football personnel. That would certainly be tampering and really sloppy approach by Miami.

There does need to be some sort of enforcement that limits the back channel communication as well but that is more challenging to enact

I hope the NCAA can figure out how to enforce the no contact rules, but based on rescent history it's clear they don't have the will or the way.

Effectively there are no NIL or transfer portal rules.

Hopefully they can find a way to restore some order to the process, otherwise it's going to get even more ridiculous then it already is.
 
This seems like a huge deal. It makes the portal, and the portal windows meaningless. It will be interesting to see how this changes college football moving forward.

Be careful what is wished for right

Well, I'm still not in favor of NIL. It's a Pandora's box that will never be closed again. :cautious:
It has certainly created a lot of issues but it had to be allowed.

Limiting students ability to earn money using their Name, Image or Likeness is unconstitutional.

So now we have to focus on how to make NIL work the best because the current system is flawed.

I totally agree with NIL, but I don't agree with college teams directly paying players. Players can absolutely sign any deals they want to promote their name, image and likeness. Players should also get a share of Jersey sales that use their names. Earn money for events to sign autographs and stuff like that. Maybe there is something that I'm missing in regards to these deals, but what I'm reading in some articles is that team like Miami is offering X money for players.

Now you're confusing the issue with facts. Matter of fact is, I still don't like what it's doing to college football.

While on paper it isn't pay for play, in reality everyone knows that it is.
 
Nick Saban is not a fan of the current NIL setup, because it gives the big blue bloods a competitive advantage.

He's obviously correct that if you want a level playing field, then all schools need to have equal NIL resources.

It seems to me that bigger schools have always had more money to throw around, and Saben was a master of leveraging any advantage he could find to help Alabama, which had more money then most of his competitors.

Much of the NIL is dictated by the courts to allow the student athletes to make as much money as they can. If they set up an NIL cap that the smaller schools could afford, then the average per player NIL payment would plummet, and there would be another lawsuit that the student athletes would likely win.

Almost nobody likes the current setup, but like it or not it's helping Texas.

You're not wrong, but the players cannot hold all the power or their agents. Lawyers have been inserted into this equation. Given free reign they will fuck this up beyond all recognition. As simple as the second amendment language is, it took a lawyer to make people believe they could question the constitution.
 
Niblack is dead to me now. I will never utter his name again.

Relax, he's your rival's problem now.

With a complete Spring, a long Summer, Fall camp and even through the season, he could never grasp Sark's plays. Coaches couldn't trust him to run the right play.

It was never about his athletic ability. He's just dumber than dirt.

Nick Saban was king of under the table recruiting. A level playing field is why he got out
